OK, I have searched and searched for this with no concrete answers. So I figured I would ask here
Penn Foster courses that are ACE approved with UL recommendations, are they usually accepted by EC as such? I asked admissions and they would not tell me anything since I'm not yet enrolled. Anyone have advice??

From what I have gathered here Excelsior College usually follows ACE credit recommendations.
I see there is an unofficial list for Penn Foster / Tesc equivalents. Just nothing concrete on Excelsior. As soon. As I'm done with the courses in working on I'll be happy to post How they transfer.

Yes, I am having the same issue.
Excelsior, please just be more transparent.
I'm asking Excelsior and they say that we'll put you through to the academic advisor only when you've completed your preliminary review. Transcripts look like they're going to take a few weeks before being received and now that I have finished half of my BS in Accounting it has been really tricky to figure anything out for sure for my remaining credits.
I don't have 3 weeks to waste. :p 1 Year BS degrees don't earn themselves.
As a note, ACE recommendations/approval for all of the Penn Foster courses are very easy to access and they even provide a pdf file for all requested course info. Just about every course I was interested in has current ACE approval.
Also, people have commented before on how easy Penn Foster courses are. I wanted to know that since now they are online, are they any harder?
